1. A decent grasp of the Java language
2. Basic knowledge about the toolchain (maven specifically)
3. Certain Spring framework notions (injection)
4. Know Atlassian app basics (see https://developer.atlassian.com/ for details). You will also need Atlassian SDK (see this documentation for reference)
5. An IDE (e.g. Eclipse). We use JetBrains IntelliJ Idea here.

Setup

1. Install the Atlassian developer kit from the terminal/command line

   Code Block
   brew tap atlassian/tap brew install atlassian/tap/atlassian-plugin-sdk

2. Download your desired version of the SIL Engine from the marketplace.

3. Add the SIL Engine to the local maven repository

   Code Block
   language powershell title Template
   atlas-mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<Location of Jar from step 2> -DgroupId=com.keplerrominfo.jira.plugins -DartifactId=katl-commons -Dversion=<Version of Jar> -Dpackaging=jar
